It was reported that they were still looking for a final agreement, so no agreement has been reached and Chelsea might be the one who made the deal impossible because they did the same with the other two Serie A clubs, especially if what Roma has to offer isn't enough to make Chelsea interested then Lukaku will it is impossible to go to Rome to continue his career.
At the age of 30, he is still very likely to play for the next few seasons and Chelsea should not make it difficult for this player to move because it is clear that Lukaku has stated that he does not want to play for Chelsea, and retaining this striker will only cost Chelsea money to pay him while there is no contribution that will be awarded for not playing for Chelsea.
If Roma finally manages to get him that's a good thing because seeing several other big clubs in Serie A so passionate about getting him shows that he still has the ability to do a lot for Roma later, but it looks like Roma is dealing with a club that is very difficult to negotiate with so failure is possible they will get.

The talk is still going on and no final agreement already reached by chelsea and roma. Im not sure if roma wanna pay 100% of his salary but jose is quite happy to have him in the club.

You are only thinking about the transfer fees but you forgot to include lukaku's salary as well. Roma can't afford to pay him as high as what chelsea did. This is also the reason why the deal with roma will be much longer.
It's hard to meet a good condition regarding his salary. Lukaku's salary was big.

If this deal goes through then I can say that Chelsea are in an advantageous position they will not spend money on salaries for up to a year + 12 Million additional fresh funds this deal is 2x more profitable than the deal with Inter Milan last season. If calculated 12 Million + salary in a year (17.5 Million) Roma will spend 29.5 Million for a year while Chelsea wants to release Lukaku for 34 million why Roma didn't sign him permanently? maybe they want to anticipate if Lukaku performance is not as expected? Jose Mourinho should know how to position a player like Lukaku and there should be no doubt.

I thought that if you were wrongly posting this in the serie a threat. It must be on the bundesliga thread.

Good news for roma fans. Lukaku will be coming to the roma as a new striker. Jose has been also approving him to be coached by him. I hope jose can dig the potential owned by lukaku despite so much mockery that were coming from various football fans about him.

Seria A will be more competitive than last season, Napoli will fight to retained their title, not an easy route for them to take. Napoli will not win the Scudetto two times in a row, it's not possible, probably not under the new coach, Rudi Garcia. He needs more time to adapt to the club and the players, basically there's enough time for the new boss to implement a solid winning strategy. Victor Osimhen is a top player that needs to get all the necessary goals and assists he could possibly lay his hands on, because there's absolutely no time for reluctant actions.

At present, being at Chelsea is also not an answer for Lukaku especially in some of the latest news at this time Lukaku's condition which does not really have a good relationship with Pochettino will make him not in the list of Chelsea players in seniors and is likely to be played at Chelsea u-21 as some initial news and statements from Poche himself.
The Arab club is ready to accommodate it's just that Lukaku doesn't want to move there because he still wants to compete in Europe on the other hand the Serie A club is also now struggling with Lukaku's release clause which makes this even more complicated for Lukaku.

In as much as Napoli player's will take some time before they adapt to the coaching pattern of their new manager Rudi Garcia who replaced Luciano Spalletti after the latter stepped down from his role as the club manager, I think they can still do well this season or probably retain the Italian Serie A title with the new manager.
Their performance last weekend is a proof that the players are already doing exactly what the new managers demands of them and with their lethal and clinical Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen at his best, Napoli still has all it takes to retain the title

Well, the truth would not be bad if Lukaku joined Roma it would do Mou's team very good, however a Lukaku would be like a workhorse next to Dybala who is a player who needs someone to help him so he can go well at all times, here it would be necessary for the Mou to install his team well so that they can have an unstoppable front line, because I see the midfield very well in Roma, as well as the defense, and well, on the other hand, things can to improve if it can be shown that the best can face them, I especially liked how they did it in the Europa League, they passed over many teams that considered them the best at the moment, as is the case of Barcelona, Manchester United, among others, and well, that final was a bit full of controversy for me because I didn't see that refereeing was legal enough, however it is my perception, in the end things happened that way, but it remains for me that Roma for that moment He did very well, and that is what should be highlighted, now Lukaku, although for many he is a good target, others see him as weak, that he does not contribute, but he is a player who has a brand and can do many things.

Roma expect Lukaku over weekend after Chelsea talks

Well, in this order of ideas, it wouldn't be bad for Chelsea to negotiate with Roma, since they don't want Lukaku in their ranks, which is something I don't understand, because I know he could do many good things and contribute and they don't want it , because for Roma it would be a great Addition, I also believe that this team with that player has more freedom to do other things, like concentrating well on our strategic game , I no longer only know a team to play in counterattack but could play and think about being more Comprehensive , that is, a game time can make things more controlled with the defense, with the midfield, it is known that any team that dominates the midfield dominates every game, and obviously they will have a lot I work up front, and since he is a relatively big player, he has many marks because he is Capable of managing well there, scoring good goals , which is what matters in the End.

I am pessimistic about Napoli this season because they have undergone a change in their squad. Change of coach is the main cause because the process of adapting players to the new coach will also change. But this is still in the early stages and Napoli was also able to win a convincing victory in the first game. But what is clear is that Napoli will no longer be able to defend the Scudetto.

For this season the competition in Serie A is very tight and it is unlikely that one team will dominate. Juventus will again be reincarnated as a new force to compete on the championship track.

As you may know, Lukaky is now close in joining As Roma on loan.

They are talking about 12 mils for 1-year loan plus the salary entirely paid from Roma.

Not a cheap operation, we are talking about 20 mil for 1 year.

Hopefully it will be better this season. Because Napoli dominated the previous season so much that the championship race finished quite early. I must admit that Napoli's form was just insanely good but the others were still lacking in performance a lot. But this season is likely to be different. Before anything else Napoli have started off with a clean slate.

After Spalletti's departure and Rudi Garcia's arrival we don't know how consistent Napoli will be this time. In the meantime I hope to see some serious improvement in especially Inter's performance. They are already my favourite for the title this season. Bookmakers think the same as well. Do you think Juventus can be one of the title contenders this time?

I think Lukaku can be a good option for AS Roma because at the moment Roma is being hit by a striker crisis due to Tamy Abraham and Dybala struggling with injuries. Apart from that, the Roma management, which is known to be very economical in spending money on spending on players, is also another reason and borrowing the Chelsea striker will be an advantage for both parties. And I'm sure Lukaku can get back to what he's capable of under Mourinho and the two of them will understand each other's characteristics

This could be a good option for AS Roma if Mauricio Pochettino still doesn't include Lukaku in his project this season. Moreover, Mourinho really likes a striker with a posture like Lukaku, and definitely reminds Mou of Drogba before at Chelsea. If you look at the AS Roma transfer market, there have been no significant surprises so far, Lukaku arrival could be a new recruitment for the capital team.

Even if Lukaku is willing to go to SPL, he will get a high fee there. But I think the reason he didn't leave was to secure his place in the Belgium squad, he could lose that if he went to the SPL.

I would guess that if he is aware of the level he is at right now then I think he should be fine with the situation. He is at that age and physical shape where if he leaves for an Arabic team then it would make sense. I am not saying he would not be able to play in any European club, but he would not be paid like that anywhere and he would not be at a top name club neither.

So, why go to a midtable European club and get paid 3-5 million a year when you could go to an Arabic team, start every game, and get paid maybe 20-30 million or more? That makes more sense, that's why all these players left to Arabic clubs, they wanted to get paid and have a chance to play, there were no players better than them at their position and got paid x10 more money.

Looking at the position of the standings last season, they (Verona) were ranked 17th, they were only saved by goal productivity at that time, because their points were the same as Spezia who collected 31 points. I'm not saying they'll stay the same this season, but that could be an advantage for AS Roma. In the first week Verona managed a narrow win over Empoli and AS Roma only drew, and there's no denying that's a worry for AS Roma who may feel the same or even worse.
AS Roma must be really careful in this match, especially they will act as a guest team.

Most chances Lukaku going to stay at Chelsea for the another season even most chances he will stay mostly on the bench but nothing positive is happening right now for him in Italy with if he accepted any short term deal from Saudi Arab then maybe he can bring some better thing for his future but currently nothing is good for him just gossip and rumors through media can't bring positive change in his position.

Vlahović having good start for the Juventus which mean they will now stay with their current squad and try to have better things as well, but just Lukaku for Roma is completely nonsense from the Chelsea media team for pressing Juventus to announce anything positive about him.

But, as I also read T Abraham lengthy injury can change his fortune, but we have few days and no discussion happening between relative parities which is also creating mess-up for the player.

Maybe Mourinho knows how to treat Lukaku for the AS Roma team in an attacking position, because AS Roma itself is also lacking players in the attacking position so that also fueled Mourinho's conviction to sign Lukaku from Chelsea after Lukaku had an uncomfortable moment recently with the Chelsea coach. So it is a very good opportunity for AS Roma if they are able to get Lukaku this season with any status.

The problem is there is no guarantee that Chelsea will agree to Roma offer moreover Roma wants to use cunning ways by making offers at the last minute, we know Roma also need new players to strengthen the attack line but they don't have enough budget so they have to find an alternative looking for cheap and quality players then they tried to take advantage of Lukaku's situation at Chelsea I hope Chelsea don't just let Lukaku go unless he makes it permanent next season. Chelsea have suffered a lot since they first brought in Lukaku so at least they have to get something if they want to let him go to Roma.

The last game between Salernitana and Roma in May ended in a draw and the score was also 2-2. I don't think that a draw in the first Seria A game should be the reason not to bet on AS Roma. The league is just beginning and Salernitana is also a good side. I think it was a fairly good performance from the Jose Mourinho side because they fought hard to get that deserved draw. It was great to see Belotti scoring a brace after his low-performance last season. He will be a striker that we should watch out for this season.

Lukaku is a player that is gradually approaching the end of his prime time. He has been inconsistent in Inter, missing clear chances that most strikers will easily score. Except Jose has a special plan for the Belgian, I doubt if he can give the Roma attack the needed boast. The Saudi league would have been perfect for his current form.

Generally we do see competition between a few teams in the league. But in the last season Napoli was way ahead of almost every other team. But this season it is going to be different in my opinion. I think in this season the competition is going to be more between the top teams. And in this season, Roma will also be in that conversation. And in the last season, the fate of Juventus was also in jeopardy. But this season, I don't think anything like that is going to happen. That does not mean Napoli is going to definitely miss defending the title successfully. We know Napoli is also trying to approach this season so that they can be successful in defending the title. So definitely the competition this season is going to be war.
